Melanie Moreno's family rejects Ozempic claims as old modeling videos surface

Melanie Moreno’s family rejected claims she used Ozempic after social media users found old plus-sized modeling videos. Her cousin wrote on X: "Melanie is my little cousin and I can tell you it is her!! And no Ozempic." The cousin added, "People are allowed to change, grow, and become healthier without having to justify it," and said Moreno "worked hard to get her current body!!!

She wasn’t insecure when she was plus-size[d], and she’s not insecure now." Her sister, Steph Moreno, also posted "Mel’s sister here" and said Moreno "has always had very high self-esteem, even when she was plus-size." Fans defended the bikini store manager on TikTok, with one comment reading, "So yall (sic) hate a women for losing weight?

Yall can say what you want but she worked hard for her body." The family’s response came as Moreno continues to be without cell phone access while filming Season 8 of Love Island USA in Fiji. Supporters unearthed a 2022 video of Moreno walking the Pretty Little Thing runway in a cut-out pink swimsuit.
